The Class is NOT about teaching craft and is not ment to be, or replace, acting, singing, creative writing, dance, music or visual art training. The primary goal is to decrease the false-self ( the self-conscious, defensive ego ) and the conscious and subconscious inhibiting interference that it creates and also to cultivate the True-Self ( the functional ego ) that fosters the release of our true, authentic potential and cultivates our long term artistic growth.

They will all be designed and utilized to promote the primary goal of the cultivation of that elusive something that exists beyond craft and technique.

Actors, Dancers and elite athletes call it the “The Zone“, Jazz pioneer Miles Davis called it “The Space“, Mozart called it “Being with God“, during the Renaissance Italians called it having “Grazia” (Grace), In Buddhism it’s “Satori“, to Michelangelo “Intelleto” and Psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, who has been recognized for his work in this area, named it “Being in Flow“.

Every spiritual and life philosophy method for the development of human potential has it’s own variation of naming, investigating and separating the inhibiting, self-clinging ego from the deeper creative self in order to release full, genuine potential for life and artistry. The workshops are designed to foster this authentic and creative way of being with your art and with your world that incorporates:

Full immersion in the moment with an energized, clear, razor sharp focus
